Ceramicist Mia Suni-Saporito makes both decorative and functional ceramics under her Studio M label in Helsinki. If you have an idea for a custom project or would like a private class for a small group, don't hesitate to get in touch.
Studio M ceramics classes for all levels take place at Studio M workspace, Korkeavuorenkatu 7, 00140 Helsinki. City tram line 10 (Tarkk'ampujankatu stop).
The class space is a historic car repair workshop which has hosted several different artisanal makers over the years. Come and feel the unique atmosphere yourself!
I first started with ceramics when I was still in high school. My parents didn't think a creative path would lead to anything serious in life, so instead of arts I ended up studying serious things and working at serious jobs.
Over the years I have lived in several countries and studied and practised ceramics in Europe, Middle-East and USA, where I had the pleasure of staying at ceramics heaven at Harvard Ceramics Program 2017-2020. Despite the multicultural influence on my esthetic eye my Nordic roots have always been clearly shining through in my work.
Over time porcelain clay has gained a solid place as my favourite material to work with, but I do admit having regular affairs with other clay types too. What I enjoy most about teaching ceramics is witnessing the class participants' moments of discovery and joy with this wonderfully tactile and soothing material.
Wishing you fantastic clay moments!
